Boston, MA criminal defense attorney Dan Gaudet talks about the defenses available in a drug case. He states that in defending a drug case, he first examines whether the charges can be addressed before trial. This includes reviewing how the drugs were discovered, whether law enforcement had a valid search warrant, and if any searches without a warrant were legally justified. If procedural or legal errors are found, there may be an opportunity to challenge the case early.

If the case proceeds to trial, he evaluates factors such as the possibility that someone else was responsible for the drugs or whether the substances were intended for personal use rather than distribution. By carefully considering these details, he develops the strongest possible defense strategy for his client.
